These guys should not be able to commentate together especially when talking about spinners.

I'm waiting for Warne to repeat his 'O'Keefe is a white ball specialist' theory.

I really don't but anyway it makes you seem cooler so feel free to say that...

The fact is that 100 wickets @ 25 with 4 5-wicket hauls doesn't make you a great of the game.

If you think that then perhaps it's you that struggles with the game of cricket.

more stats, is that the best you've got ?

your stats tell you the past, I can tell you the future

It can if you played in the first half of the century when tours took 6 months. Twizzle might just be showing his age

Lol the future is irrelevant.

You said "he already is". Which would correlate to the present.

Longevity in the modern game is the key indicator of greatness. It doesn't apply so much back in the day when they didn't play as much, e.g. the Don's 52 tests over 19 or so years.

Again, 100 wickets @ 25 in today's game doesn't make you a great.

But it's pretty clear that Haze is well on his way as he's only getting better. If he maintains his current level of play for another 4-5 years then there's no doubt he will go down as one of Australia's greatest quicks.

well yeah, your sarcasm meter broken ?

thats basically what I was saying, sans stats, as far as I'm concerned he will go down as one of our greats, thats my call anyway

Time to call Cartwright the invisible man. At least it is better than the clear and present shitness Maddinson showed in his career.
